I think that 0 errors and 0 failures would be better :-)

There are certainly tests which doesn't applies for all databases. Most 
of them uses a method like "appliesTo(Dialect dialect)", like 
org.hibernate.test.rowid.RowIdTest . There are also plans to use 
@SkipForDialect and @RequiresDialect , but I'm not sure what's the 
current plans for that.

But note that changing the tests may not be possible, specially if the 
dialect won't ship with Hibernate. In this case, you may want to 
document those "known issues" and waive them.

If it's a bug in Hibernate, just open a JIRA with the test case and 
someone will look/fix.

Not yet. But running the testsuite against "hsqldb" is a good starting 
point, as it usually passes 100% (no errors nor failures).
